My life's meaning |✔️

"Really?" Lucas questions as we got into the truck speeding away

"What? Time is money" I shrug counting the money before tucking it away in my bra "I was just getting my money for my time being wasted"

"Mrs.Ricci, I'm required to inform Mr.Eli about the incident. I can wait until tomorrow to give him the call if you'd like" my bodyguard says glancing into the mirror at me

"You can tell him now, it's fine" I wave him off

Looking out the window I watched the building go by, listening to my surroundings.

I need a blunt and some wine

Forty five minutes after my bodyguard Matt told Elijah what happened he's been calling my phone nonstop.

Answering on the twelfth time I rolled over to my side pulling the covers over my head. It's one in the freaking morning!

"Elijah. ." I whisper grumpily

"Hey Babe, are you hurt? Why haven't you answered any of my calls or text messages?" he questions worriedly

"I'm fine, I was taking a shower and now I'm trying to get some sleep" I yawn

"Oh okay, go to sleep but don't hang up"

"Goodnight Papa" I yawn again sitting the phone down beside my pillow

"Goodnight Love" he chuckles softly, then groans whispering lowly

"Night night, Mama" Delilah whispers loudly into the phone

"Goodnight babygirl" I mumble smiling softly

|9:12am|

"Ma? Ma wake up!" Lucas shouts shaking me awake

"Yell at me again and ima push you in ya throat" I grumble rolling out of bed going into the bathroom with my toothbrush and toothpaste

"Eli hung up an hour ago saying he was taking Delilah to a amusement park with Tj, Quincy, and Dave and his kids. He's supposed to call you on his way home when he gets back, saying something about his grand opening of his tattoo shop or sum"

"Alright" I nod bushing my teeth, my phone goes off from the bed causing me to groan

"It says Alfred is calling? Who's that?" Lucas ask bringing me the phone

"My butler" I mumble answer the call "hello?"

"Good morning, I'm calling to tell you about how I caught Mr.Eli trying on your ring a few minutes ago before he left. It got stuck on his pinky and he struggled terribly to get it off" Benjamin cackles "I had to pour melted butter on his finger to slide it off"

"What the hell?" I frown, washing my face "did he say anything to you about it?"

"He said Delilah wanted him to try it on but I don't believe that one bit. I also saw Remo giving Delilah's babysitter a stare down, he seems fascinated with her"

"Thanks for the interesting information, I'll check in with you later" hanging up I pulled my shirt off going into the room towards my suitcase

"Ew, Ma!" Lucas groans covering his eyes, laying across the bed

"I have on a bra chill out" I laugh

"I don't wanna see you in that, put clothes on"

A knock on the door catches our attention as I slide a different shirt over my head.

"Yeah?" I question

"Good morning Mrs.Ricci, are you ready to start the day? I have all you're favorite breakfast foods waiting for you if you are" Matt says through the door

"Hey Matt, you can come in"

He opens the door slowly holding a tray of fruits, pancakes, bacon and eggs. Sitting it on the nightstand he placed a bottle of water and apple juice beside it.

"Come out whenever you're ready to leave, I'll be waiting in the living room" Matt nods slightly leaving as fast as he came in

"After I eat we'll continue our hunt for your girl, in the time being go find something to eat and pack your things. We can go to your house later or another hotel it's up to you, we just can't stay here" I nudge Lucas' leg, I sat beside him eating checking my messages

"We can go to my crib, I don't care I just want my Hailey back" Lucas sighs getting up, leaving the room
